Syria Refugee Crisis

Social media often does not cover the Syria civil war that has been going on for years now. There about 5.5 millions who are a refugee and it keeps growing.  They are living in refugee camps that now became their homes. Yet nobody is doing anything to change that, they are left without any help form countries. And when they finally make it to a safe place, they are faced with all of more obstacles. The article I choice shows the difficult a family had to face just to find a safe haven. They were given hope during the Obama administration, they had everything ready for their new life. But it was once again away with Trump travel ban from seven Muslim countries. Can you imagine waiting years to leave a war violence country only to have that chance being taken away. The articles describe the violence and danger the civilians are in Syria. And having to file for asylum, describing the situations with a language that you have no knowledge in. It is important to know how these people are living and crisis that faced by people just like us. They are living in poverty losing homes, family and friends. The mental and physical each family or an individual goes through during times like this. It is important to be aware of what going on around us and how to help improve our immigration policy to help those in need.

One Response to Syria Refugee Crisis

    Munsura, I am impressed that you stayed on track with your blog posting assignment – even amid the current craziness! Your post is a good reminder that, while we are all at home trying to respond appropriately to the coronavirus in our own community, there are still millions of people around the world who have no safe, permanent home. I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone on Monday, as we resume our course remotely. In the meantime, I hope you are taking good care of yourself and that your family is finding ways to get through this crisis. Take care,
    Professor Sylvor
